Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015012789A1] Examples of a multi-region touchpad are disclosed. In one example implementation, a multi-region touchpad may include a multi-region touchpad sensor having a primary region and a secondary region to receive an input corresponding to a movement against the multi-region touchpad sensor and a touchpad controller. The touchpad controller may process the received input, and may transmit touch position indicative of the received input to a touchpad driver of a computing device communicatively coupled to the touchpad device. Further, the touchpad driver may cause an operating system of the computing device to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the primary region and extending into the secondary region as a continuous touch. Similarly, the touchpad driver may cause the operating system to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the secondary region as a navigational command to cause the operating system to perform a navigational function.
